If you own a website or are thinking of starting one, there is a good chance at some stage that you will have to manipulate an image for use on your website. Image manipulation software such as Adobe Photoshop can be very expensive and is really aimed at the professional market. We have therefore identified a very competent free alternative for our customers called The Gimp.

c) then help files if you want them - they are quite large so make sure you only install the English language pack.

2. The Gimp is one of the leading opens source editors and as such, have done a good job on their support pages. Importantly, their quickie pageshave instruction for the most commonly asked questions, which we believe covers what most of our customes will need to do. These pages can be found at http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Lite_Quickies/.
